An aircraft electrical power system includes a monitored load (e.g. group of lightbulbs) connected through a sub-system power unit and a power distribution center to a power bus. A current monitor of the power distribution center is able to detect a total failure of the sub-system power unit and its connected monitored load, but is not able directly to detect the failure of a single load component (e.g. single lightbulb). The sub-system power unit includes a fault detector able to detect a fault or failure of a single load component (e.g. single lightbulb) in the monitored load. When the fault detector detects such a fault, the sub-system power unit generates a modulated current signal in the current drawn by the sub-system power unit, with a magnitude greater than the detection threshold of the power distribution center, which thus recognizes the detected fault based on the modulated current signal.

The invention relates to a power distribution system, such as a Power over Ethernet power distribution system. A powered device provides a pulse,such as a Maintain Power Signature, when in standby such that a power providing device remains providing power to it.
